I won' bother if this keeps happening. The only way to fix this the last several times was to blow away the FAH folder and start from scratch. :rolleyes:

I'm too busy with college to keep this up much longer. :bang head

Stanford... we have a problem! :mad:

[Adak]

I posted your problem over at FAH's forum. There are many others with this same complaint, unfortunately. Some suggestions:

Remove the -advmethods flag, if your client is setting it.

Remove the -forceasm flag, if your client is setting it.

Use qfix as soon as you see the problem - don't restart the client when you see the problem, because it will quickly thrash the queue, ruining the WU result, beyond repair.


I'll check back in a few days and see what they have come up with for an answer, but right now they say "we're working on it".

[Zerix01]

Just out of curiosity, is Linux installed right on the hardware or is it in a VM?

If it is a VM, see if it makes any difference to run the client as root.

What is qfix?

If it is a VM, see if it makes any difference to run the client as root.They are both pure Debian Lenny testing. I've run root terminals but the problem still occurs.

Like I said, I'm too busy to futz with the clients much these days so if they crash, it's Stanford's loss. My rigs will just use less electricity while not folding just spinning error loops. Less points for me but that's not a life or death situation for me anyway. :shrug:

Check the thread here (http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=191) for more details.

Try what I did. My VMs are fine now:
